That's part of the idea. The other part being that the air would get
directed along the floor toward the fridge grate.

Seems to me that the vents line up with the slider bearing, uh, groove.

Concerns with venting in air from below: potential propane leak(s), bringing
in dust. And, the slider would get hot in the sun. Even with some kind of
fancy insulated ducting between fans and openings, I'm starting to think
that if it's 100+F outside, at best, one brings the Westy interior down to
that. The Dometic would still be challenged with that kind of heat.

Hmmm....
